Go to any market in Ghana and you'll no doubt see bolts of colourful fabric for sale. But in recent years, demand has fallen for locally made cloth. Imported, mass-produced fabrics may not be as beautiful, but they are cheaper. It's led one woman on a crusade to ensure that the knowledge of how to make Ghana's hand-printed batik fabric isn't forgotten. Katerina Vittozzi has more.

In Ghana, despite the strong influence of Western culture, people continue to wear their colorful traditional clothing.
Their garments are made of fabric dyed using a process called batik.
In the batik method, wax is used to block the dye from some parts of the cloth, and that's how the patterns are made.
Our correspondent in the Ghanaian capital of Accra visited a batik factory to see how it's done.

The territory of present-day Ghana has been inhabited for millennia, with the first permanent state dating back to the 11th century. Numerous kingdoms and empires emerged over the centuries, of which the most powerful was the Kingdom of Ashanti. Beginning in the 15th century, numerous European powers contested the area for trading rights, with the British ultimately establishing control of the coast by the late 19th century. Following over a century of native resistance, Ghana's current borders were established by the 1900s as the British Gold Coast. In 1957, it became the first sub-saharan African nation to declare independence from European colonisation.

History

The history of West Africa can be divided into five major periods: first, its prehistory, in which the first human settlers arrived, developed agriculture, and made contact with peoples to the north; the second, the Iron Age empires that consolidated both intra-African, and extra-African trade, and developed centralized states; third, Major polities flourished, which would undergo an extensive history of contact with non-Africans; fourth, the colonial period, in which Great Britain and France controlled nearly the whole of the region; fifth, the post-independence era, in which the current nations were formed.

Open University

The Open University (OU) is a public distance learning and research university, and one of the biggest universities in the UK for undergraduate education. The majority of the OU's undergraduate students are based throughout the United Kingdom and principally study off-campus; many of its courses (both undergraduate and postgraduate) can also be studied anywhere in the world. There are also a number of full-time postgraduate research students based on the 48-hectare university campus where they use the OU facilities for research, as well as more than 1000 members of academic and research staff and over 2500 administrative, operational and support staff.
The OU was established in 1969 and the first students enrolled in January 1971. The University administration is based at Walton Hall, Milton Keynes in Buckinghamshire, but has regional centres in each of its thirteen regions around the United Kingdom. It also has offices and regional examination centres in many other European countries. The university awards undergraduate and postgraduate degrees, as well as non-degree qualifications such as diplomas and certificates or continuing education units.

Universitas Terbuka

Universitas Terbuka (UT, literally Open University) is Indonesia’s 45th state university and employs open and distance learning (ODL) system to widen access to higher education to all Indonesian citizens, including those who live in remote islands throughout the country as well as in various parts of the world. It has a total student body of more than 460,000.

Mission

UT's focus is on educating people who for various reasons including lack of funding, rural isolation and full-time employment, do not have opportunity to attend conventional face-to-face higher education institutions.

The University's mission is:

to expand the opportunity for quality higher education through the distance education system;

to produce competent academicians and professionals who are able to compete globally;

to increase participation in continuing education in order to create a knowledge-based society;

to increase the quality and quantity of research and development in the distance education system, especially in distance higher education;

Open University in the Netherlands

The Open Universiteit Nederland (English: Open University of the Netherlands) is a Dutchuniversity or institution for distance learning for higher education at university level (both professional and scientific). This means that students do not attend classes but study at home. The Open Universiteit uses a variety of methods for distance learning, including written materials, the internet, and occasional evening seminars or day sessions.

Introduction

The Open Universiteit Nederland was founded in 1984, welcoming its first students in September 1984. It is an independent government-funded institute. The administration is based in Heerlen, in the province of Limburg, in the very south of the Netherlands. Dispersed over the Netherlands, the Open Universiteit has 12 study centres and 3 support centres, as well as 6 study centres in Dutch-speaking Flanders (Belgium) and 1 study centre in the Netherlands Antilles.

29,104 students are enrolled (in 2007) at all study or support centres in the Netherlands, including students who live in other parts of the world; in 2003, 1,991 students were enrolled at a Flemish study centre. Since the Open Universiteit has been founded, over 250,000 students have taken part in its courses.

Cheap imports threaten Ghana's textile industry

West African prints have made it to the fashion catwalks of the western world, yet at home the fabric industry is suffering because of cheap fake imports.
In response, the government is encouraging people to support the industry and promote their culture by wearing local fabrics.

Made in Africa: Making a case for Ghana's batik fabrics

Go to any market in Ghana and you'll no doubt see bolts of colourful fabric for sale. But in recent years, demand has fallen for locally made cloth. Imported, mass-produced fabrics may not be as beautiful, but they are cheaper. It's led one woman on a crusade to ensure that the knowledge of how to make Ghana's hand-printed batik fabric isn't forgotten. Katerina Vittozzi has more.

Ghana's Traditional Fabric Dyeing

In Ghana, despite the strong influence of Western culture, people continue to wear their colorful traditional clothing.
Their garments are made of fabric dyed using a process called batik.
In the batik method, wax is used to block the dye from some parts of the cloth, and that's how the patterns are made.
Our correspondent in the Ghanaian capital of Accra visited a batik factory to see how it's done.

HOLLAND TEXTILES Product Presentation #1

Holland Textile is one of the biggest retailer of Vlisco products in the world. Holland Textiles carries all of Vlisco selections such as Wax Block, known as (Hollandais),Superwax, Java, Voila, and many other products made by Vlisco today.

The territory of present-day Ghana has been inhabited for millennia, with the first permanent state dating back to the 11th century. Numerous kingdoms and empires emerged over the centuries, of which the most powerful was the Kingdom of Ashanti. Beginning in the 15th century, numerous European powers contested the area for trading rights, with the British ultimately establishing control of the coast by the late 19th century. Following over a century of native resistance, Ghana's current borders were established by the 1900s as the British Gold Coast. In 1957, it became the first sub-saharan African nation to declare independence from European colonisation.
